In this episode, we recap the draft experience, react to surprise picks like Ty Simpson and Caleb Downs, and debate which teams truly won the draft. Then we go division by division and lock in our 2026 NFL predictions.

We also touch on the Stanley Cup Playoffs, NBA postseason matchups, and of course — the ongoing Cowboys Super Bowl debate.

If you enjoy strong opinions, bold predictions, and sports banter, this one’s for you.

In Episode 3 of Smack Talk, the guys run through a full first-round NFL mock draft and throw out some bold predictions ahead of the big weekend. From potential surprise picks to quarterback debates and trade scenarios, nothing is off the table.

They break down possible landing spots for top prospects, debate what teams like the Jets, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Steelers should do, and make a few picks that might not age well.

Plus some playoff chatter, UFC talk, and draft-week chaos before heading out to the draft.
